I have been working with the OPTIMIK® program basically since it was created – in fact, it was originally developed for us. Due to the choice of a specific algorithm, the program has already shown very good results in its first version and so, we were very satisfied with it. The program was user-friendly, provided quick calculations and very favourable serviceability of the material, therefore ideal for use in practise. Since then, the program changed, has been upgraded and today provides outputs far beyond our original assignment. Nevertheless, we got used to these new functions very well and now are absolutely satisfied and using the program in extenso. We highly recommend it.
